Just in the process of moving into the CJ Lancer world after 10 years of driving Geminis in the OzGemini Car Club. After engine swap number 5, I decided it was time to buy myself something new, so have just recently picked myself up a Silver 08 VR Lancer. The idea was that I was supposed to leave it untouched and give up on modifying cars, however that plan has already gone out the window.
My car is still fairly basic: So far I've just blacked out the front, debadged it, gear knob, AUX in, modified the intake a little and fitted a shift light, however I have some eyelids, LED taillights, CF interior trim and hopefully a front strut bar on the way. Also thinking about a GReddy Exhaust, just trying to justify the cost
New cars go pretty well, and it's nice being able to have a conversation at highway speed. After driving a car that revved out to 8000rpm and screamed when it got there though, I've hit the rev limiter more than a few times in a car that sneaks it's way up to 6500. I'm getting the hang of it.
Here are some pictures of my old car until my Lancer is something worth looking at. I built it from the ground up, and it was my baby for about 4 years.
